Abstract
|
The use of enzymes such as trypsin has proven to be of great importance, particularly for industrial and biochemical applications. However, the use of free enzymes is limited due to the labile nature of native enzymes which makes a reuse therefore difficult. In contrast, immobilized enzymes exhibit several advantages, e.g. they offer improved thermal and operational stability and a better availability of the active site to the substrate. Furthermore, immobilized enzymes can be easily removed from the reaction mixture, and thus enable the reuse preventing a contamination of the product at the same time. Enzyme-membrane reactors take advantage of the membrane having the simultaneous task of supporting the biocatalyst as well as acting as a selective barrier for the products to be separated. Many approaches for the immobilization of enzymes on membranes have been described in the literature including adsorption, covalent coupling, cross-linking and incorporation in the polymer substrate.<br /><br />Special Issue: 12th International PAT Conference, 29 September2 October, 2013, Berlin, Germany, Short Oral Presentations
